           Summary: Building Mozilla on Solaris i386 w/GCC 3.3 fails with
                    internal GCC error
           Product: gcc
           Version: 3.3
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: c

Workstation:
Solaris 9 i386, GCC 3.3  

Using GCC 3.3 and building the Mozilla executable by doing a gmake -f client.mk
build,
the process dies with an error message from as.  I am using GCC 3.3 downloaded
from sunfreeware
(ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/intel/9/gcc-3.3-sol9-intel-local.gz),
which appears to invoke the native as found in /usr/ccs/bin.

Changing out the as for gnu's as results in an similar failure,
with a complaint about a different flag not being understood.

I realise you guys may not be able to do anything about this,
but at least felt you should be advised as to the problem.
